Seven years ago I received an email with some revealing photos of a supposed Italian talk show host. After a thorough and exhaustive investigation I discovered that it was in fact Pamela David, a most gorgeous Argentina Playboy Cover Girl for March 2006.

Well again, the stunning woman is not Italian at all but rather a most alluring Ukrainian model named Daria "Dasha" Viktorivna Astafieva. I am very much attracted to Russian and Ukrainian women - I married a beautiful woman of Australian/Russian extraction almost 38 years ago. And despite the fact that I am a most obnoxious and arrogant f*ck, she has remained my wife all these years.

Dasha Astafieva is the Playboy Playmate for January 2009. Dasha, a 23-year-old native of Ukraine, started modeling in 2003 and within four years had become Playboy Ukraine’s Playmate of the Year. This whetted her ambition for a larger stage. “I have dreamed of being an American Playmate since I first saw the magazine,” she says. “It has changed attitudes about beauty and sexuality and influenced people across the world. It is an honor to appear in Playboy.”
